Create two 256-color bitmaps (38-by-38 pixels and 22-by-22 pixels). Save the files in the custom bitmap folder (CIE\Bitmaps). When the browser is not active, the first frame of the animated logo is used as your static logo.

Animated logo

38-by-38 pixel and 22-by-22 pixel .bmp files for each animation frame

For each animation frame, create two 256-color bitmaps (38-by-38 pixels and 22-by-22 pixels). Save the files in the custom bitmap folder (CIE\Bitmaps). When the browser is not active, the first frame of the animated logo is used as your static logo.

Use the IEAK animated bitmap tools to stack the bitmaps in the correct format and build the animated logo. The animated logo must contain a vertical stack of animation cell images that follow Internet Explorer animation rules.

Animation rules for the Intenet Explorer logo

Cells 1 through 4 are lead-in cells, which are played when Internet Explorer begins to browse.

Cells 5 through X, where X is the total number of cells, loop until the browse operation is complete.
